This week is another episode from our Truth Bomb series. After giving birth to twins, she was struggling with her body image—despite her husband constantly reassuring her that she was beautiful. But self-doubt can run deeper than compliments, and she just couldn't shake the feeling. Wanting to help her feel confident again, her husband secretly worked overtime, saved up, and surprised her with what he thought was the ultimate gesture of love: cosmetic surgery. Cue the explosion. Instead of feeling seen or supported, she was devastated—and now she won't speak to him. He's confused, she's furious, and this episode dives into the emotional landmine that is body image, post-baby identity, and the fine line between love and insult. Can a “perfect gift” be totally wrong? We're unpacking the hard truths behind intention, perception, and how to actually support your partner when they're not feeling like themselves. vibr8tor.com: Use Promo MS15 guybrator.com: UsePromo GUY15 Got a story to share with us?

In this episode, Amber explores the topic of self-judgment and how it hinders personal growth and goal attainment. Drawing from recent client conversations and psychological studies, Amber argues that self-judgment and self-criticism are learned behaviors that serves our oppressors more than they serves us. They are optional practices, not necessary or required to make change. We can choose differently and we can choose joy. Amber emphasizes the importance of self-celebration and joy in building as a necessary part of the process when we make change, noting that positive reinforcement is more effective and sustainable than fear and punishment. Amber encourages listeners to avoid self-beratement and instead adopt practices that motivate through love and intention, ultimately leading to more fulfilling and achievable outcomes.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Welcome to The Pleasure Priority Podcast00:22 The Fear of Self-Judgment02:08 The Illusion of Success Through Self-Punishment03:28 Positive Conditioning vs. Negative Conditioning04:12 The Power of Positive Reinforcement06:21 Breaking the Cycle of Self-Judgment09:49 Sustainable Motivation Through Joy11:40 Taking Action Without Fear17:47 Embracing Mistakes and Moving Forward18:39 Closing Thoughts and EncouragementRESOURCES:How to be Happy in Any Relationship Quiz -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ambertaylorcoaching.com/quiz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Work With Me -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ambertaylorcoaching.com/workwithme⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CONNECT WITH AMBER:Ask Amber: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/kqcHJ741jKsDPvAb6⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠amber@ambertaylorcoaching.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ambertaylorcoaching.com/⁠⁠⁠

AITA for refusing to take back my cheating wife after her younger lover left her?Love, lies, and deception—this podcast dives into the raw and unfiltered stories of infidelity. Each episode uncovers jaw-dropping tales of trust shattered, secrets revealed, and relationships forever changed. From scandalous affairs to shocking double lives, we explore the emotional fallout, the dramatic confrontations, and the unexpected twists in the lives of those involved. Whether you've been betrayed, are just curious, or love a good drama, Betrayal brings you real stories of heartbreak and resilience.Think your ex was bad? Wait until you hear these stories! Cheaters Confessions brings you the juiciest, most shocking, and sometimes downright ridiculous tales of infidelity. From secret double lives to outrageous excuses, we'll dive into the drama, heartbreak, and even the moments so absurd they'll make you laugh out loud. Join us as we unpack the mess, hear from those who lived through it, and maybe even learn a thing or two about love, loyalty, and what not to do.Infidelity refers to the act of being unfaithful in a committed relationship, typically involving emotional or physical betrayal of a partner's trust. It often involves secretive behavior, such as cheating with another person outside the relationship, and can happen in both casual and long-term partnerships, including marriages.Infidelity can take various forms, including:Physical Cheating: Engaging in intimate or sexual acts with someone other than a committed partner.Emotional Cheating: Forming an emotionally intimate bond with someone outside the relationship, often sharing feelings or experiences reserved for the partner.Online Cheating: Flirting, sexting, or forming inappropriate connections with others via social media, dating apps, or other digital platforms.Financial Infidelity: Hiding money or making significant financial decisions without the partner's knowledge or consent, sometimes linked to cheating.The consequences of infidelity can range from emotional pain and trust issues to relationship breakdowns, divorce, or personal growth if the couple chooses to work through the betrayal.If you're exploring infidelity for your podcast or any project, do you want to focus on its causes, effects, personal stories, or societal perspectives?Cheating in the context of relationships refers to breaking the agreed-upon boundaries of fidelity between partners. It typically involves dishonesty or betrayal, whether emotional, physical, or both. Cheating can vary widely depending on the dynamics of the relationship and what partners consider to be a violation of trust.Common Forms of Cheating:Physical Cheating:Engaging in sexual or romantic acts with someone outside the relationship.Emotional Cheating:Forming a deep emotional connection with someone else, often sharing intimacy or secrets that exclude the partner.Online Cheating:Using dating apps, social media, or other platforms for flirting, sexting, or maintaining inappropriate relationships.Micro-Cheating:Smaller actions that may not feel like full-blown cheating but still violate trust, such as sending flirty texts or keeping interactions secret.Financial Cheating:Spending money secretly or hiding financial dealings, which can sometimes be tied to maintaining an affair.Common Causes of Cheating:Lack of emotional or physical satisfaction in the relationship.Boredom or seeking excitement.Opportunity or lack of perceived consequences.Emotional disconnect or unmet needs.Desire for validation or attention.Effects of Cheating:Betrayal of trust, leading to emotional pain.Relationship breakdown or divorce.Long-term trust issues for both partners.Opportunities for personal growth or healing (if the couple works through it).If this is for your podcast or writing project, let me know if you want to focus on specific aspects like personal stories, psychology, or advice!AITA stands for "Am I the Ahole"**, a popular subreddit where users post personal stories or scenarios asking for community judgment about whether they acted appropriately or were in the wrong. The acronym has since become widely used in casual conversations and on social media for discussing moral or ethical dilemmas.How AITA Works:Post a Situation: Users describe a conflict or event, often involving family, friends, coworkers, or partners, and ask if they were justified in their actions.Judgment Categories: Commenters vote and share opinions using the following labels:YTA (You're The Ahole):** The poster was in the wrong.NTA (Not The Ahole):** The poster was justified in their actions.ESH (Everyone Sucks Here): Both parties were in the wrong.NAH (No Aholes Here):** Nobody acted poorly; it's just an unfortunate situation.INFO (Need More Info): More context is needed to make a judgment.Common Themes:Family Drama: Conflicts over weddings, parenting, inheritance, or traditions.Relationships: Issues with significant others, exes, or boundaries.Friendship Fallout: Betrayals, misunderstandings, or one-sided dynamics.Workplace Issues: Disputes with coworkers or bosses.Social Etiquette: Actions that spark debates about politeness or morality.Why It's Popular:Relatable Content: People often see echoes of their own lives in the stories.Moral Debates: Readers enjoy weighing in on what's right or wrong.Drama Factor: The posts are often emotionally charged or wildly dramatic, making them entertaining.Revenge stories capture the raw, emotional aftermath of betrayal or wrongdoing and the lengths people go to seek justice or retribution. They range from dark and dramatic to clever and even humorous, appealing to our sense of fairness or catharsis. These stories are popular in literature, movies, podcasts, and online communities like Reddit, especially in subreddits like r/ProRevenge and r/NuclearRevenge.Types of Revenge Stories:Personal Betrayal:Examples: Exposing a cheating partner, outsmarting a two-faced friend, or getting back at a toxic family member.Themes: Loyalty, heartbreak, and vindication.Workplace Revenge:Examples: Sabotaging a horrible boss, exposing unethical practices, or turning the tables on a competitive coworker.Themes: Justice, power dynamics, and clever tactics.Petty Revenge:Examples: Small, humorous acts of retaliation, like messing with a rude neighbor or annoying a bad driver.Themes: Lighthearted and relatable.Nuclear Revenge:Examples: Life-altering retaliation, like exposing someone to ruin their reputation or orchestrating massive payback for a grave injustice.Themes: Dark, dramatic, and high-stakes.Justice Served:Examples: Helping the victimized get retribution, such as whistleblowing or turning the tables on a scammer.Themes: Moral and social justice.Why Revenge Stories Resonate:Catharsis: They allow readers to live out fantasies of payback without real-world consequences.Morality Play: They explore questions of justice, fairness, and the consequences of one's actions.Entertainment Value: Dramatic, outrageous, or clever schemes make for great storytelling.Common Settings for Revenge Stories:Relationships (cheating, betrayal)Friendships (backstabbing, lies)Neighbors (boundary disputes, noise complaints)Workplace (toxic environments, unethical bosses)Legal/financial conflicts (scammers, fraudsters)Revenge storiesPayback talesRetribution storiesJustice servedSweet revengeEpic revenge storiesGetting evenKarma storiesPersonal vengeanceRevenge plotsPetty revengeNuclear revengeLegal revengeRelationship revenge storiesWorkplace revenge storiesBetrayal paybackCheating revenge storiesRevenge fantasiesSatisfying revengeUltimate paybackCheating storiesInfidelity talesBetrayal storiesRelationship dramaCheating spouseEmotional heartbreakTrust issuesAffair storiesCaught cheatingUnfaithful partnerBroken trustCheating scandalsRelationship betrayalLove triangle storiesMarriage problemsRevenge on cheaterExposing infidelityHeartbreak storiesCheating confessionsToxic relationshipsAITA storiesAm I the A**holeMoral dilemmasReddit AITARelationship dramaFamily conflictsWorkplace disputesFriendship betrayalEthical questionsSocial etiquettePersonal boundariesEmotional dilemmasAITA confessionsJustified actionsPetty disputesTough decisionsStorytime AITAReal-life dramaInternet judgmentWho's the a**hole?Cheating story, infidelity, cheating spouse, betrayal, affair, heartbreak, unfaithful partner, trust issues, emotional pain, relationship drama, caught cheating, revenge, marital secrets, cheatingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-wives-and-girlfriends-stories-2025-true-cheating-stories-podcast--5689182/support.

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are analyzing "The Bear" season 1. We meet the chefs and other restaurant staff this season and WOW, was anyone else's heart racing? We root for Carmy and the restaurant to be successful but see poor interpersonal skills, trauma, grief and trust issues impact everyone. Mikey's story line is tragic and unfortunately a common reality when mental health issues combine with substance abuse and financial troubles. Be sure to watch this show with some snacks, we hope you enjoy! Instagram TikTok Website Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Fieri, a psychiatrist. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I'm Portia Pendleton, a licensed clinical social worker. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And this is Analyze Scripts, a podcast where two shrinks analyze the depiction of mental health in movies and TV shows. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Our hope is that you learn some legit info about mental health while feeling like you're chatting with your girlfriends. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: There is so much misinformation out there, and it drives us nuts. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And if someday we pay off our student loans or land a sponsorship, like. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: With a lay flat airline or a major beauty brand, even better. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And your DSM Five and enjoy. We get started. We just wanted to include a trigger warning for this episode. This episode could include discussion about some themes and topics that might be upsetting, including, but not limited to things like substance abuse, suicide, self harm, disordered, eating, and harassment and assault. So if any of those topics are too upsetting, we totally get it. Please feel free to skip this episode and join us next week. Otherwise, we hope you enjoyed. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Hi. So we are back again with another episode, and we are going to refer to each other today as, like, yes. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Drink, yes shrink, yes, chef, cousin, cousin. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Whatever kind of comes to mind. We're not going to be swearing and putting each other down. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Hopefully not kind of abusive, which we. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: See a lot in the show. The Bear, which you're coming today. Season one, kind of blew up recently over the summer. I definitely had not heard about it last year. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I hadn't really either. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It was all over, like, TikTok. A couple months ago, Jeremy Allen White. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Is all in the news because he got a divorce. And I don't know all the details about it, but it seems to be, like a hot. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, yeah. People really like. So what how do you want to start talking about this? First, I would like to say that my blood pressure was so high, I'm making this up. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Okay. You weren't, like, checking it? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: No. Watching some of these episodes, this level of stress that I was feeling, and my heart was racing, I was like, I feel like I'm back in a restaurant, and I'm not. Okay. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, you worked in a restaurant too at some point, right? Yeah, I did too. Only for, like, six months. Like, in between college and med school, I took a year off to apply, and it was really stressful. I worked in a Mexican restaurant. It's closed now, unfortunately, one of the owners embezzled money and went to federal prison. Fortunately. But I was trying to get out of this other job, and so when I applied, I said I was available for all shifts. So I got all the lunch shifts and made, like, no money, and I would have to come in early and clean, like, literally move the heavy tables, clean the windows. It was, like, a lot of hard work. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's like, labor, labor, physical labor. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I lost a lot of weight because you're, like, running around all day. And I'll never forget my last day was Cinco de Mayo. I was like, I have to work Cinco de Mayo. Right? I'll never forget. The floor was, like, so sticky with tequila. It was a good restaurant. The food was really good. But at the pre shift meeting, one of my coworkers was like, hey, guys, I got Adderalls. Does anyone want one? And all these people took Adderall. And I was like, I'm good. I'll be okay. I don't know. It really shocked me. But then I guess in watching this show, and I don't know if in your training, you learned that there's a lot of mental health issues in the restaurant industry. Because I learned that. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. I mean, I think it seems like and of course, we're generalizing here, but in my experience, and even hearing from clients who work in the restaurant industry, there is so much substance use. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yes. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And with that often comes mental health issues. I'm just curious about who ends up in the restaurant industry. Right. I think you have to be really personable. You're really friendly, energetic. Energetic, I would say. And I think this is like, a little bit of just like anecdotal information. I feel like it's often kind of you have a little bit of ADHD. You're good, right? You can BOP brunch the 100% environment for you because it's so stimulating and. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It'S so quick, fast moving. I totally agree. And I think a lot of young people, I think, work in restaurants or bars or things like that when you're younger. But then I think you're right that there is a lot of substance use. I think there's, like, erratic hours does. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Not help mental health, sleep. And then I think people often might, in that example that you provided, will take something to help stay up. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And then oftentimes, once the restaurant closes, shifts over, I think people go out for drinks. Or then there's, like, substance use with downers, kind of. I think, like we said, it is really hard work. Like, physically demanding. I think the pay can be good, right? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Depends. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Depends. It fluctuates, and you don't really get benefits, so there's a lot of stress. It's certainly like, when we think about what are, like, risk factors, I guess, for mental health conditions, there's a lot of environmental risk factors just right there. And then you're also dealing with people who are hard to deal with. Right? Like, you have demanding customers, people complaining you're not doing it fast enough. There's a mistake. I can't imagine, right? Like, just all the complaints you have to deal with in a personable, happy way. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And now I always think about everyone having sensitivities or allergies right to foods and how many requests we're making. I do make one request, but I'm just thinking about how complicated things are now. Everyone at a table could be like, okay. And I've been at a table before where it's like, every single person has a something, and I'm just like, oh, man, it's just so much more work. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Than just accommodating like, a regular taco salad. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's like, no cheese on this one, no meat on this one. We have to leave out the taco because it's corn based so much. It's a lot, and I think the pressure for certain people gets to them, and I think that's why we see. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Also just, like, a lot of abuse yes. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: With the hierarchy within the kitchen, and it can get really ugly. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. So when I started watching the Bear preparing for this, unfortunately, Hulu just, like, auto played the last episode of season two. I didn't get through the whole thing. We got through maybe the, like, ten or 15. No, I know. And then we're watching it, and I'm like, am I supposed to understand who these characters are and how they relate? And then all of a sudden, my husband noticed, and I was like it. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Was like, s two, like, episode ten or something. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I was like, oh. So I felt like I had, like, a preview. Not in a great way, but then it's like, I don't think it's going to spoil all that much. So then we restarted it. But even in season one, we sort of see these flashbacks of Carme right. Played by Jeremy Allen White, the main character who worked in a really fancy like, they kept saying, the best restaurant in the world, and we saw Joel McHale. I was surprised to see in, like, a dramatic role. Do you know who Joel McHale is? Did you ever watch The Soup? No. Okay. Again, I'm older than you, but I. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Know I didn't like. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't love him. No offense. That's okay to him. If you're listening, that's okay. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Does he have any weird outcomes? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I just don't think he's funny. No. To me. And maybe he is now, but I remembering watching The Soup and being like, not your thing. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: That's fine, but yeah, dark, like, abusive. And it was very hierarchical, like, almost like the military. It kind of reminded me of and you have to go up the chain and sort of that kind of thing. In prepping for this episode, I did some quick research, and it does seem like the restaurant industry hospitality has very high rates of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and harassment, which I think makes sense, like, if you've ever worked in one. And then I think this show really accurately portrays that. Like, you were saying in watching it, your heart rate is high, your blood pressure is high, you feel stressed, and you're like, God, it is a lot. It's a lot. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I mean, when they had finally implemented the to go, oh, my gosh, and they didn't notice that they had done, like, preorder selection, and it was just, like, coming out of the machine. I was just I felt like, I mean, a good acting, good storyline sucked me in. I don't know if it's because I can, like, I have some restaurant experience, but I was just like it's like a trauma response. So some people freeze, some people flee, and other people freak out and fight. Whoa. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Interesting to see everyone's individual response. And carmi just freaked. Like, it was almost I felt like his explosion of pent up emotion. Right. I feel like his sister Sugar had been saying, you're not expressing things. And he wasn't really he was really holding it in, and then it just all exploded. Like, he couldn't take it anymore. I was really proud of Sydney and Marcus for walking away and being like, we don't tolerate know I didn't see that coming, but I was really proud of them for doing that. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I think what I thought was interesting was when we see Carme working at that Michelin star restaurant, and he's being right, like, verbally berated saying all these horrible things to him. I thought it was so interesting because Sydney and, like, have a similar experience with working at higher end places. They know, yes, chef. Behind you, chef, all that stuff. So Sydney, in one of the later episodes when she is accidentally a stabs richie in the behind. But also, you see her absolutely berating him. Right. She's like, you're a loser, your kid, your partner. And I think for her, that almost felt like she was so horrified, almost, that that's how she had become in this place. Right. Because her and Carmen talked about how horrible that was, and then she did it, and it's like, place brought it out of her. Right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It's like the abuse becomes the abuser, which we see. I'm thinking more along the lines of children who grew up in abusive environments and then sort of take on those behaviors in adulthood. It's reminding me of that. Yeah. And I feel like she couldn't it was really sad. And when she was sitting there at the lockers, and he was like, are you okay, chef? And she's just like, no. And it's like, no, you're not. You're right. And she has to walk away. And I think you're right. I think it was a combo of Carmen berating her, but then her doing that too. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. And losing it, and right. They are these experts, and she's holding the knife right out. No intention right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Of like yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: First she's waving around, but then she's pointing it out, and he just, like, turns like, you don't ever walk with a knife pointing out. That stuff can happen. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Exactly. Right. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And you can stab someone in the a fatty tissue place where it's, like, less right, right. Whoa. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I know. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And so, again, it's just like, how did all that come to be? Was it, like, stress? Was it trauma? Probably a mix of everything. Also, like, Richie I don't like him. There have been very few characters so far in all the shows and movies we've watched, which is quite a bit by now, where I really don't like them. Like, the whole time I'm watching it, I'm trying to find something redeeming. And since I did see the first. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Ten minutes of the final episode of. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Season two, and I see what role he assumes and he's behaving a little differently, spoiler alert. It's not much of a spoiler, but still, I kept trying to find something redeeming about him, and I had a really hard time. What about you? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think that I really did not like him until the last episode, and I wouldn't even say I like him. I feel like I just have empathy for him. I feel sorry for him. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Why? That's where I struggled. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I feel like he is so broken. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I want to know nothing story. Maybe we learn it because they said in season two read an article that was like, season two gets right with the only thing that season one got wrong, which is like, there was no backstories for anyone. We didn't know anything about anyone. And so I'm wondering if we get his because I'd be so curious. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It just seems like he's. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And why he was really hearing what Sydney was saying when she's calling him a loser. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I feel like he feels like he's. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: A loser, and he's a loser in every way. And then he talks about his daughter saying to his ex or her mom, right. Like, he's bad news, Richie or something. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I just feel like that's more. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I feel bad. I don't like him. I don't want to be his friend by any means. I don't want him to be around him. But I just feel sorry for yeah. Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I kept wanting to feel sorry for him and trying to access that empathy, but I had a really hard time. And again, I hear what you're like. It seems like before Mikey died by suicide, richie was, like, the head guy, like, maybe the manager, or like, he was, like, running the show. And then I think to have Carme and Sydney come in, like, out of Sydney, a younger girl, a younger black girl, which, again, maybe that's not intentionally getting under Richie's skin, but maybe it is. We don't really know yet. But again, I could see how that would threaten his ego, because this is. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: All that he has. And then he kind of says that at the end, right when Carmen picks him up from the jail, which I thought was really interesting. And this is a little bit of a sidebar, but I think it's so risky, little PSA, to ever be in a fight with someone that's physical, because we all talk. Oh, someone says something to you. Everyone's drunk in a bar. A bar fight, right? Someone gets punched in the face. It doesn't seem crazy, but it's like the wrong hit you could fall. You hit your head, you can die. And it's like now it's literally manslaughter. And it's like things can escalate so quickly where it's like it's not just like right, a punch in the schnaws or getting pushed. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It's like hitting your head wrong on the curb. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yes. I'll never forget and I'm going to talk very loose circumstances here, but witnessing someone hit someone and they fell and they hit their head on the curb, that's scary. They got up. But I know another instance that I did not witness but happened at my college. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Even like if you're super intoxicated and you fall the wrong way right. You could die. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, it's really know. And I don't know if it's just like I respected and this is such a stretch. I respected Richie for completely owning that he was the one that did he there was, you know, because it was messy. Right. Everyone's pushing, pushing. And there was no question he was going to take the and I think that's also when he comes out, he's like, no, this is all I have. I would do anything for you. It seems like they connect. I'm curious to see in season two how that plays out. I'm hoping that that's like a change then for Richie. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But up until that episode, I was so irritated with him. He just kept messing everything over and over. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: That's what I mean. And I do think that's like the perfect depiction. And I'm like I am really curious. And I hope we do learn more about his backstory because I wouldn't be surprised if he had, like if I'm making it up. Really critical parents, like one parent who's really critical, one who's absent, whether it's because of substance abuse or like a father left or something like that, that's setting him up to never feel good enough. So he's going to keep trying, keep trying. And then he just gets to the point where it's still never good enough and he starts getting in his own way. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Like he just kept messing up. Yes. Like when they did the kid's birthday party and he doesn't bring the ketchup. Right. His Xanax. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Oh my God. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And the drink and all the kids pass out and no one calls the ambulance. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I was like, waiting for your take on that. I was just like, dying. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: When they just show, all the kids. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Pass and the guy right? They're like mobster uncle is like, well, this is preferable, to be honest. Because he's like annoyed, right? Kids suck. Kids are annoyed. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Kids are annoyed. At least they're quiet. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But I was like, are they breathing? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Has anyone put their fingers under their nose to see? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Is their breath? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Oh my God, I can't believe no one called the police or the is. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Such a bare minimum, and you're going to be like, you're crazy. But I was kind of pleasantly surprised that Carmen told him. Right? I feel like, it could have been like, oh, because you could literally go to jail for that. Again, not intentionally, but you could go to jail. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Maybe you should. Right? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So the fact that he told him. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I was like, okay, at least have. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: A moral compass in there. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Get somewhere in there, I guess. Yeah, but then no one does anything. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But I was thinking would have been in there, right? Let's talk about that. Because it looks like it was one bottle. So were they like, bars? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: That's how Xanax comes, right? I don't remember what the dose was. So Xanax is the trade name for Elprazolam, which is a very short acting benzodiazepine. Incredibly addictive, right? That's why most people don't prescribe it, hopefully, except in very specific circumstances, like flight phobia or something like that, where you only need a little relief for a little bit of time. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: You're not getting prescriptions every month for it. It's like you're getting ideally, right? Like, once a year should be enough. I think providers feel comfortable with that. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Depending on the situation. I think, unfortunately, it is really abusable. And the reason it's so abusable is because it is so short acting. So it hits your system really quickly, like, within 30 minutes or so, you feel so good, you feel a lot calmer, but then it's out of your system really quickly, too. So then you're like, oh, I need more, I need more. And thus starts the cycle of dependency and addiction. And again, I specifically use those words because there's a difference, right? You can become physically dependent on a medication like this. Like, your brain gets used to it. If you don't have it, you develop withdrawal symptoms. You need more. You can have that without perhaps being addicted. But again, they kind of go hand in hand, I guess. But with addiction, you also think of it as like, okay, then you start doing riskier things to obtain it, right? Like, you might start stealing, or you might start obtaining it illicitly, like, on the street, or you might be spending a whole lot of time trying to find it at the expense of work or spending time with your family. There's a lot of criteria that go into addiction, but you can also be physically dependent on I mean, that is like, one of the main criteria, too. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I believe right. You can die from the withdrawals from. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: A benzo 100% class. Yes. Benzos act on the GABA receptors in the brain, very similar to alcohol. So it's also incredibly dangerous to mix benzos with alcohol. When you're intoxicated with both, what can be fatal is the respiratory depression. Basically, you start breathing so slowly that you could stop breathing. And that's what I was worried about with these kids, just, like, sleeping. I was like, is anyone making sure they're breathing and they're getting enough oxygen to their brains? Like, these little kids getting whatever the adult dose is. I mean, it looks like the whole bottle got in there somehow. Who knows how much is in there was so dangerous. And then if you are addicted or physically dependent on alcohol or benzos and you just try to quit cold turkey, that's also potentially fatal because you can develop seizures and cardiac instability. So, like, really high blood pressure, really high heart rates, you could have a stroke, you could die. So it's really dangerous. I was very uncomfortable with that whole. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like, you need a medical detox, right, versus, like opiates. It's a horrible detox, but you can stop. You won't be very sick, you won't die. But a couple of kids, and I say kids because they were under 18, who I worked with in a residential program, if they were abusing benzos, they would still be on them, right? So they would come in and they'd receive a lower and a lower dose versus some of the kids who were on opiates, they would be very sick or they would have been in a very fast detox like in the hospital. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, I did a lot of detoxing when I worked at the VA in residency, and I did a lot of time in the emergency room there. So that was like one of the main things we saw. And you're totally right that alcohol or benzodiazepine detox is medically necessary. Like you could die. And that was like one of the hardest conversations to have with patients when they would get to day two. And of course they're waiting for a bed because we don't have enough access to treatment in the whole country. We've already talked about this. But by day two, they're starting to feel cravings. They want to get out of there and we have to have the discussion like you're just starting the detox. We still don't know which way it's going to go. There's like risk factors and algorithms we can keep in mind to help predict it, but we just don't really know. You could get delirium tremons, which is potentially fatal. I mean, it's really scary and a lot of times they would leave against medical advice and probably start drinking again, which is very sad. But then in other ways you're like, well, I guess it mitigates the risk of death from an unsupervised detox, but it's really risky. But you're right. With opiate withdrawal, that's where the phrase cold turkey comes from. It feels like the worst flu of your life. It's incredibly painful to go through, but it's not medically dangerous. So in either way, like with benzo or alcohol withdrawal, we do taper using the benzos. And then you can also give other medications to help with other symptoms to help make people more comfortable. And then with opiate withdrawal, some places will start, like Suboxone once you're a couple of days out to make sure there's enough out of your system where it doesn't plunge you into a worse type of withdrawal. But then you also give other agents to help make people feel more comfortable. So that too, it's like ideal if you can do a medical detox, but not medically dangerous if you're just trying to quit, like, on your own. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. Circling back now to restaurant employees right. Often not having insurance. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yes. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And being or I think, too, what's interesting now is with a lot of credit card tips right. That is on the books versus cash tips. So it's like they pay taxes on right. So you could be, I think, right on the line with, like, you don't make a ton, but you also don't qualify for Medicaid or full Medicaid. So I just think there's a lot of people that are underinsured or not insured who specifically work in this field of know with with sometimes raging substance use issues and mental health issues. It's just like a perfect storm. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. And I mean, most detoxes would be at least five days. So when you're imagining, like, in restaurants, you often do, I think, live day to day in terms of your income. It's not predictable. You're not going to have short term leave or things like that. It's really hard to think, like, I'm going to take five days away and somehow pay for this treatment and make up for not and then come back. The same environment. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It's really tough. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. I was just thinking about Mikey in that and just like, it seemed like he was struggling for a while with opiate abuse, and some people knew, some people didn't. And that was kind of really eating at Carme for not knowing. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. So what did you think about Mikey's story and then this show's depiction of addiction and grief and people reacting to someone's suicide. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I thought it was good. I thought it did a good job of showing multiple reactions and responses, which I think hits the nail on the head with everyone will respond differently. I think if we look at it in kind of a black and white way, like, some people shut down, other people have really big reactions immediately. So it's like right. Someone if you're picturing at a funeral, which is kind of morbid, there's people who are, like, wailing and visibly upset for weeks. Tanya from Lettuce. Yes. And then there's people who are just totally shut down right. Haven't cried at all. And that doesn't mean that they're not processing it or grieving, but I'd say because they might be doing it at home. But if you're not doing it at all, I think then sometimes there's a bigger reaction that comes out later, which we see with Carmen kind of starting to lose it or some of his other symptoms, which I was curious to get your take on with some of the nightmare being sleepwalking. Right. And in his apartment earlier on, it seems like he's having a horrible time sleeping, which isn't helping any of his symptoms. And then at the end, we see, right. Him kind of what appears to be maybe he's, like, dissociating when he tries to light a cigarette and then the whole stove catches on fire. Two different things, I feel, like, all around fire, too. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, I mean, I think you're totally right. Portia this show, I thought, again, another expert portrayal of grief, and I think the complicated grief that comes from losing someone to suicide, of all things. Like, just how many questions are know Carmen? No one saw a note until the very end, and it's still in my mind. It's like, Was that a suicide note? I think so. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think it was meant to be, but it wasn't, like, by the know, maybe not by Mikey, but it just. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Wasn'T it wasn't clear. And I think in the know, it sounds like Mikey and Carmee, they were brothers, right? They sort of bonded over cooking. And then Mikey goes on to open the Bear, but then won't let him. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Eat the beef store. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Sorry, the beef, but then won't let Carmen work in it. And that created a really big rift in them. And I think we still don't really understand why he wouldn't let him in. I started wondering, was there some connection to organized crime? It seemed like Richie maybe had a connection. And those feuding groups on the corner that Sydney placated with the sandwiches and even, like, the Uncle Jimmy, I was like, Is he a like, is that why Carmen wasn't he was trying to keep him away? Or was there something like, is that how Mikey got introduced to Opiates? There were a lot of questions for me, but then that was, like, a real wedge in their relationship. And it sounds like in the very last episode with Carmen's Monologue at Al Anon, first of all, how moving was. But then we finally start learning some of this backstory, and it sounds like that almost, like, fueled Carmen's desire to show, like, just achieve know, really escalate to the best of the best, to be like, you're lost, dude, and then gosh, how complicated and confusing for carme to lose your brother in that way. And then learn that he left the restaurant, that he'd never let you work into you, and you have to leave your position at this best restaurant in the world to come here. Like, Whoa. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And also was and maybe it didn't feel like a choice, but that was his choice, that a lot of people were like, what are you like, you didn't need to come back. I think Richie was upset that he was coming back and taking over. I think the staff initially were all. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Upset that he was, because it seemed like the like, Tina Ibrahim, like, all the staff, it seems like, had been there for that. They forever, right? And then all of a sudden, you have Carme coming in out of nowhere again, this white guy. A lot of the staff. Were people of color. And then he hires Sydney, this young girl, and they're like cleaning everything up, operationalizing things. And I could imagine and we see how the old crew reacted and we're like about it. Yeah, exactly. But then eventually they do warm up to it. And I did think at the beginning, Carme was really respectful in terms of saying, we call each other chef. We have high standards. This is what you need to do well. And at first, they weren't really believing it. Like the family dinners I thought were so I never had that at the. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Restaurant I worked at. Right. I was like, Where did this come from? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: This is really nice. We all have dinner before it's. Like, that's really nice. I think eventually it did help them sort of get on board. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: But it took a while, especially with Tina. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And know, it seemed like Tina kind of bought know after a little bit with Carmee, but then it was really like an interesting dynamic watching her and Sydney, and then Tina pretending not to speak English, like, here and there. And Sydney's like, I know you can you just were doing it and calling. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Carme Jeff instead of Chef. Just all these slight jabs. I can't remember what it was that finally got her to come around, but eventually she did with Sydney. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It was something with the potatoes, right? So, like, Tina didn't burned something or something and then Sydney already had it going, but didn't criticize. Tina was like, just get it over with, do it. And Sydney was like, no, it's fine. And then she complimented her later. And then I think Tina was like, okay, we're good. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Sydney kind of like, helped her out instead of rubbing her nose in it. But getting back to, I think what you originally asked me about grief, I also thought it was interesting that I was like, is there a gender dynamic here? Because his sister seems to be more openly grieving or at least talking about the death. She's like, trying to get him to go to Al Anon, which to me suggests she's going to Al Anon and then Carmi is really closed. And I I think you could say that might be a more stereotypical man reaction. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I'm sure it depends on generalizing, super. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Generalizing, like, depends on different families structures and dynamics and stuff like that. But I think what is that old phrase? What is it we talk about a lot with trauma? Like what you won't remember eventually comes out or something. What you try to avoid thinking about eventually comes out, whether you like it or not. Death of anyone can be very traumatic, but I think a suicide in particular is very traumatic for all the people involved. And it sounds like in Mikey's case, it's like, was it planned or was it impulsive? Right? Like, was he intoxicated and had a mean it's not really clear until we find the note, right? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't know. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: What did you think? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think it was unclear. I mean, I think I could go on the one hand with him stashing the money for so long. Was he planning on ending his life for that time, or was that just like a side project of him? Just like, stashing all this money away to avoid taxes? To avoid taxes or in the end to give to Carme? I don't know. Was his plan like, okay, Carme is going to be this amazing chef, and then we're ready for him, we're going to have all this money? Or was it like, I know I'm going to die? I don't know. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It's a weird spot to leave a suicide note, right? Usually I feel like if someone does leave a note, it's with the body, like it's nearby. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Do you think it was maybe, though, supposed to be in a locker and fell out? Like, maybe, like, Carmen's locker from years ago? Because that was my question. Why was it behind lockers, the lockers on the floor? Had it fallen somewhere? Was it supposed to not be there? I don't know. Did he mean to bring it with? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: That's what I mean. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: How could anyone find that? Someone could have easily thrown it away, could have easily gotten damaged by water or something. It just was so risky. And also right. If you're leaving someone, like, $300,000, you want that to get to them. So that was just strange. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It was strange. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Why do you think Richie put it back? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I think at that time, when he first found it, he was still really mad at Carmen for coming in. In this season, we really see how the landscape of Chicago, the landscape of their neighborhood, the landscape of the restaurant itself is changing. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Gentrified. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yes, exactly. And I think Richie's like having an identity cris and not on board, and I think he was just at that time, really mad at Carmen, didn't want to help him along. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I guess this is where my little thread of empathy comes out. It's like he could have thrown it out. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: That's very true. Why did he put it back? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Put it back. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: That's actually a nice point, Portia. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't and there's million different reasons why, but I'm thinking maybe it was because not right for Carmen. But he couldn't do that to not. He's he wasn't just being this huge. Ahole. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: There was just something in there. I don't think it was he was looking out for Carmen. He didn't think Carmen was ready. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I don't know. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Maybe. But there was something. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: You're so right. He could have thrown it. Oh, okay. Now I'm feeling something for him. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: You're right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Like, he definitely could have, and he didn't. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Just interesting. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. That's really making me think. Really making me think. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So we know from past episodes how important sleep is, right. And how the lack of sleep can literally bring someone right to have some psychosis. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, and mania like sleep is the biggest trigger of a manic episode. Psychotic episodes, for sure. I've seen a lot of first breaks in college. Students who were flying internationally didn't sleep on the plane. That's what brought it out, finally, which. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Is what you said, that I am good because I went to Europe and I was up for like 48 hours and I'm fine. I was like, that's a really good sign. You don't bipolar disorder in Portia winning in some ways here, but also in. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: The restaurant industry, like other industries, too, like if you're working third shift or other things like that, it is so disruptive to your sleep. And I think the high energy, fast paced environment of restaurants makes it really hard, even when you get home to fall asleep. I think that is why so many have a drink after work or take another substance like Xanax to try to calm their brain down. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's also so bright in the kitchen. You know what I mean? It has to be, but the lights are so fluorescent. It's so bright and shiny in a cleaner restaurant. I was impressed at how much they were cleaning. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I was very happy. I think, again, that's, like, where Carme comes in and is like, this is unacceptable, even if we're like a sandwich, like, let's have high standards for ourself. And I thought, that's a nice way to live as long as the standards aren't impossibly high. But I think it does. And we saw that it did lead to feelings of self efficacy and pride in your work. But yeah, certainly you hope all the restaurants are that clean. I sort of doubt they all are. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think it's so funny, like, being kind of near New York and going and right. And seeing the know, just kind of how they showed in Chicago, because they don't do that in the like I'm sure there's, like, a public health infected, but they don't have that in the. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Window, which I just think is so, like and it was interesting, like, when they didn't get a good grade, and he's, like, blaming Richie, but then it turns out it was his fault. That's like another time where he was sort of like kind of I did, I think at least in the initial time where he was setting his apartment on fire, they both felt dissociative to me. And I think that's part of his trauma response. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Just like trying to keep putting 1ft in front of the other, but you're not processing what you're feeling, and it will inevitably come out and sort of that's how it was coming out at the end with the fire in the kitchen. At first I thought, is he going to intentionally let the restaurant burn down and be like, okay, now it takes care of it. But then everyone sort of grabbed the fire extinguisher and took care of it. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, that was an intense scene. So, like with Mikey's suicide, I think we kind of talked a little bit around the edges here. But suicide, I would consider is like a complicated loss, right? So there's some losses that are really uncomplicated. Like losing a grandparent in a natural way, right? It's like it's sad and can be really life shattering, but it's expected. It's like the natural way of life. And those losses are typically more easy to process, just like as a human. But then these complicated losses, like losing a child as a parent or losing a parent when you really suicide exactly. Or really unexpected deaths are complicated. And it doesn't mean that this is way harder or it's a much bigger loss, but it's just a different loss. And I think it can make it harder to process. And I would really say specifically with suicide, because there are so many times that people somebody does die by suicide, the people who are left right, are often like, what did we miss? How did I not see this? How could I have stopped it? And there's so many of those lingering questions that we don't ask ourselves when again, it's like a grandparent has an attribute loss. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And sometimes you ask yourself those questions right. In the grieving. Like, when we think about grief, that is a common, universal human experience right. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: There'S the what stage would that be like? Bargaining. Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: So there's Elizabeth Kubler Roth has her five stages of grief theory shock, denial, bargaining, anger, acceptance. We don't think of people as moving through those stages linearly. Like, you can feel things at the same time. You can go back and forth. But those are like, the universal emotions all humans feel. When you're grieving in the field of mental health, then we sort of think about, okay, what's like a typical grief reaction versus, like, a complicated grief reaction? And again, it's not because we're trying to have grief Olympics where one person is worse than the other. It's just grieving. A suicide is very complicated, and I think it is traumatic. I think a lot of people develop trauma reactions or even post traumatic stress disorder when these things happen. And I think you hit the nail on the head portia that it leaves so many questions and people when you're faced with an unimaginable trauma, you try to make sense of it. And a lot of times that leads you to blaming yourself. And that's where really good therapy is important. And sometimes you can find that, like in Alanon, which is the sort of what would you call it? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's for people who have been impacted by people with substance use. So someone who is struggling themselves currently or in the past, who goes to know that's typically for them, and then maybe their brother, their sister, their parents would go to Al Anon, right? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Exactly. And it can be a really healing, helpful place. And finally carme started. I was I remember, like, midway through the season when things were really stressful. He's like, I have to go. I have to go to a meeting. And then Sydney was like, you just left us here. And they finally sort of connected over it, remember? And then she was like, Chef, that's too much. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And he's like she's like, I'm just kidding. But yeah. I think to lose anyone by suicide has got to be devastating and traumatizing and so hard to cope with. So there are resources out there. I mean, in terms, of course, your own individual therapy, but Nami, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, certainly has a lot of resources available to people who have lost loved ones by suicide. I would imagine that feels lonely, right. Hard for someone to talk to their friends about, or their family about, if they haven't gone through it. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think there's a lot of perceived and it might not be real or not, but like, perceived judgment from others. I know that a lot of parents who have lost teens to suicide really feel like there's a lot of judgment on them for they should have known, they should have stopped it. So I think it's really hard to reach talk to people who haven't experienced it, and what a wonderful way for a very horrible thing to occur. But if you can find a group with other shared experience, it can be so helpful and such a safe space. Right? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And I think it's really scary to start attending a group. Whether it's group therapy or a support group, I think it can be really scary. And that's totally normal if you're feeling like that. I always try to encourage my patients, just go sit in the back and just see, test it out. You don't have to say anything, just see what it's like. And I always say not everything's going to stick. Especially things like AA. There's a lot of resistance to it from different people. And some people don't identify with the religious aspect. There are non religious AA groups out there these days. But I always try to tell people, like, go take what works and leave the rest. You don't have to accept everything to find some healing or benefit from some of the things. But there are, I think, nami, and I'm sure, other groups out there with support groups or people who've lost loved ones to suicide. I think that's a uniquely terrible way to lose someone you love. And especially when there's substance abuse, too. It's just even murkier, right? And you could see these characters really be like, how did we not see it? Should I have done more? And it's just I think a lot of the healing and therapy comes from just exploring that with people and trying to help people not blame themselves. But it's really it is really hard. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's heartbreaking and it's hard. And not to deter anyone from going to see a therapist, but it's hard as a therapist to sit in that. I think grief is hard because there's no really clear treatment plan based on time, right? It's like, okay, well, we should be processing this better now. Sometimes it's shorter and other times it's so long and grief is challenging. And I know even additionally to that, a lot of clients who are a support for someone who is going through grief, it's so hard just to sit and be there because we want to make people feel better, right? We want to get people okay and feeling happy and positive and sometimes it's just not we can't do that yet and we just have to wait. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And that's hard. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It is hard as a provider and it's hard as obviously a person who's not a provider. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And sometimes when people do die in very tragic ways, it is hard to bear witness and sit with someone in that suffering. But it's so important. And again, I think that's where it's really important for therapists to also know their own limits or have their own support system, right? We're all supporting each other. But you're right, it is really hard to bear witness to grief, I think, as we wrap up. Isn't it interesting that thus far in our podcasting journey, there have been some common themes of shows that are big hits in society and a lot of them are about like, we talked about shrinking, we talked about succession season four with Logan's death. Now we have the like I think, again, that just speaks to how grief is such a universal experience and we all can connect to that. Yeah, that's a good know. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think a lot of people resonate with tough topics and whether it's we're seeing it done in a comedic way or really dramatic and intense way, it's like everyone knows someone who knows someone or themselves who struggled with substance use. Everyone knows someone is someone who struggled with grief. And it's just like, again, these universal experiences that I think it can be really helpful to have a media or write some content out there that helps you cope, whether you're crying through a show or laughing through a show 100%, right? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It's like a way of connecting and experiencing it or feeling less alone, right. I think we're all wanting to feel like someone out there understands what we're going through. And even if it's not, or most of the time it's not the exact same experience, but these shows really let you know, like, okay, the writers, the creators, the actors, they're all doing such a good job because they know in some intimate way and then whoever's watching it can also feel understood. Even like the whale, everything, everywhere, all at once. Like everything. These themes are coming up again and again and I think these expert portrayals of it are just so great to have. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And that's why they're nominated, right? That's why also these are successful. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: So it's really interesting. I'm excited to see where season two. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Leads now that you have maybe a little window into some things. I'm excited to watch it too. I'm looking forward to it. I was laughing because I started episode one, season one, and I was like, trying to get my husband to come watch it. And he was like, oh my gosh. And he has restaurant experience too. And he was just like, I don't know if I can watch this. And I was like, it's really intense. I don't know. Anyway, but thanks for listening to our episode today on The Bear, season one. We will be covering season two at some point, so stay tuned. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I think next month. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, so we're excited.
